Mark Carney thought he picked the perfect Budget Officer to protect his fiscal fairy tale.
He picked the wrong person.
Today in committee, Annette Ryan dropped the bombshell:
The government’s own fiscal plan to bring the deficit-to-GDP ratio down has **less than a 1% chance** of actually happening.
That’s not my words. That’s the Parliamentary Budget Officer’s office saying there’s a **99% chance** the Liberals’ numbers are pure fiction.
Kelly Block asked the obvious follow-up:
“So for the average Canadian watching at home… there’s a 99% chance the government’s plan doesn’t unfold the way they say it will?”
Annette Ryan: “I think that is a fair statement.”
She then laid out the risks: trade war with the U.S., Middle East chaos hitting oil and supply chains, and wildly inflated stock markets that could unwind painfully.
Meanwhile, the same government that can’t even hit its own cooked-up targets is still spending like drunken sailors, importing millions more people, and sending billions overseas while Canadians can’t afford rent or groceries.
This is the same crowd the ex-military veteran warned about yesterday — the one saying if they don’t fix this, we’re heading for civil war in ten years.
Now their own numbers guy just admitted the plan has a **1% chance** of working.
Carney didn’t accidentally pick an honest person.
He picked someone who just torched his entire economic pitch in front of the country.
The mask is off.

Carney today in BC gets asked if he thinks one pipeline will be enough keep up with global demand and does he hope to build more pipelines.
Get ready for the longest non answer word salad which leads bizarrely to clean power & low carbon nonsense.
From late last night where the Liberals shut down all debate & discussion regarding Bill C-22
Frank Caputo @FrankCaputoKTN lets it be known how absolutely abhorrent it is that the Liberals have shut down all debate & discussion regarding Bill C-22 which has unbelievable privacy & constitutional issues. They just pushed through amendment after amendment with votes.

Mark Carney keeps telling Canadians he’s locking in “deals” with China and dozens of other countries.
Here’s the quiet part he never wanted said out loud.
Donald Trump just exposed exactly what these Memorandums of Understanding actually are:
“It’s a memorandum of understanding… and if I don’t like it, we’ll go back to shooting at ‘em, dropping bombs on their heads.”
That’s the reality of an MOU.
It’s not a binding agreement.
It’s not a finalized deal.
It’s a non-binding piece of paper that can be walked away from the second it becomes inconvenient.
While Carney runs around claiming he’s secured Canada’s future with these “agreements,” Trump just said what every serious negotiator already knows — MOUs are political theatre until they’re turned into real, enforceable contracts.
Carney can smile for the cameras all he wants.
Canadians are left with the same question we’ve had for months:
Where are the actual deals?
Or are we just getting more meaningless memorandums while the clock runs out?
This is the difference between photo ops and real leverage.

Roman Baber asks the Liberals if they will work with Conservatives to pass part 1 of Bill C-22 but pause and fix the many issues including keeping the meta data of Canadians for up to a year & allowing for back doors to be created by tech companies at the Government’s request.
Steve MacKinnon’s answer should worry everyone.
When you need to dismiss real concerns by saying “conspiracies & tin foil hats” while yelling like a madman there’s something very wrong with the Bill & the Liberals are using every tactic they can to distract from it.
Mark Carney’s big-government vision has failed Canada. His Irish grandparents fled poverty, yet Ireland escaped it through low taxes, economic freedom, and sound policy—not the high spending and regulation Carney champions.
While Ireland now ranks among the world’s freest economies with a 12.5% corporate tax rate that attracts investment and growth, Carney’s approach burdens Canadian families with higher taxes and bigger government. Conservatives know the path to prosperity: cut taxes, reduce red tape, and let Canadians keep more of what they earn.
Carney’s record offers the opposite.
